During intermission, Taub, the creator and lead performer of the show, observed the audience researching key figures from the suffrage movement on Wikipedia. The aim of "Suffs" is to engage viewers with these historical women, a goal Taub finds fulfilling yet challenging. Despite high-profile runs, the team recognizes the lack of awareness about the suffrage movement among the audience. Taub, along with the all-female creative team, sees this as both an opportunity and a hurdle in educating and entertaining the audience effectively.

The involvement of Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai, two prominent figures, adds significance to the production. Clinton, drawn by the portrayal of women's struggle for suffrage, readily joined as a producer. She then enlisted Yousafzai, highlighting the global relevance of women's rights. Yousafzai, previously unaware of the U.S. suffrage movement, sees the musical as an enlightening experience on activism and inclusivity. Their collaboration brings diverse perspectives to the production, enriching its storytelling and impact.

The revised version of "Suffs" aims to strike a balance between history and entertainment, addressing feedback from its off-Broadway run. The incorporation of humor and contemporary themes enhances audience engagement, making the historical narrative more accessible and relatable. The production's relevance to ongoing social and political issues, such as abortion rights, adds urgency and resonance, aligning with the upcoming presidential election.

Taub reflects on the persistent relevance of women's history, emphasizing the timeless importance of understanding and appreciating the contributions of women throughout history.
